Palma’s Moll Vell prepares to host the Palma International Boat Show

One week before the start of the Palma International Boat Show, 240 people have been working since the beginning of the month on setting up the fairgrounds that will host a new edition of the nautical event that kicks off the Mediterranean season.

The setup is being carried out in two areas: the well-established Moll Vell in Palma and the new space at the Club de Mar, which is being added this year as the major new feature of the show.

Technicians, assemblers, electricians, carpenters, logistics personnel, and production teams are working in coordination to ensure everything is ready by April 30, the date on which the boat show will open its doors. It is worth noting that this week, the Contramoll Mollet road has been closed until May 7 to allow for the assembly of the fairgrounds.

The addition of the Club de Mar expands the exhibition capacity by 5,000 square meters, where large yachts—especially sailing yachts between 40 and 100 meters—will be showcased, along with a land area featuring companies specializing in repair, maintenance, naval engineering, construction, and interior design.

This expansion marks a qualitative leap in the fair’s offerings, consolidating it as one of the leading international events for the large yacht sector. The two areas of the venue, Moll Vell and Club de Mar, will be connected by sea with shuttle boats, allowing visitors to travel between both areas in just five minutes, thereby facilitating mobility.

The Palma International Boat Show 2025, organized by ADR Balears—a body under the Ministry of Enterprise, Employment and Energy—and the Balearic Yacht Brokers Association (BYBA), will take place from April 30 to May 3, featuring leading companies in the sector and broad international representation.
